About this map

Cumberland Plateau terrain defines this portion of the Tennessee highlands, where the borders of White, Cumberland, and Bledsoe counties meet. The landscape is marked by a network of family-named landmarks and small rural settlements such as Winesap, Old Winesap, and Thomas Springs. These communities are historically anchored by numerous burial grounds, including Newton Cem, Flynn Cem, and Burgess Cem Number One, providing significant data for genealogical research in this tri-county region.

Water systems like the Caney Fork and Little Laurel Cr carve through the ridges, supporting local industry at sites like Hale Mill. The area's development is evidenced by the transition from older hubs to residential pockets near Gross Lake and the Cumberland Mountain Retreat Lake Number One, illustrating the shift from agrarian and timber-based economies toward recreational land use in the early 21st century.
